Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to meters is 0.001, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.001 meters:

1 mm = 0.001 m

To convert 30 millimeters into meters we have to multiply 30 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from millimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mm → 0.001 m

30 mm → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 30 mm × 0.001 m

L_(m) = 0.03 m

The final result is:

30 mm → 0.03 m

We conclude that 30 millimeters is equivalent to 0.03 meters:

30 millimeters = 0.03 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 33.333333333333 × 30 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 30 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 33.333333333333 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that thirty millimeters is approximately zero point zero three meters:

30 mm ≅ 0.03 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately thirty-three point three three three times thirty millimeters.
